    I made this poem pool as a place to record all my poems.

    Status:
    Not so sure how I want to format this.. but in the end, I am not too fussed... Tho, I'd really like to do some of @BlancFrost 's poem challenges maybe with a pool, I will feel more of an urge to do it.

    But first I am gonna have to locate and post all the poems I wrote on nuf across all my accounts.

    Table of contents
    I don't think I will ever write enough to warrant it tho.

    Poem Pools

    Check out the other poem pools for more variety of poems.

    Love Lost
    Yes my heart is wounded
    but time marched on unheeded
    No more will I see her face
    or feel her warm embrace

    Could I find words of comfort
    in books and tales of yore
    Would it add a feather's weight of effort
    in forgetting the one that's no more

    The road on high
    I think myself mature,
    I think myself refined
    But of enemies I would encounter
    I have fleeting thoughts of torture

    I'd salivate at the thought
    like new game that had been caught
    I'd wish to give sway to these demons
    and listen to their flimsy reasons
    But always I am laced with fear
    of what atrocities I now dared

    Do I not walk the road on high
    on its difficult harsh incline?
    Do not I walk upon this line
    where monsters on it's side would dine?

    I dare not sink a single inch lower
    nor sway from the dull dead center
    how quick would my mind unravel
    in crimes of unspeakable evil.

    Spiral
    What errors so erroneous
    What horror so horrendous
    That I, a simple poet
    would draw such wretched resentments

    Is it my work, my words of echoes,
    that marks me a disgrace to Apollo?
    Is it my lack of lyrical abilities,
    that offends your acute sensibilities?

    Say not my untimely rhymes
    for they are surely an abominable crime.
    Say not my chosen verses
    for they sound as though they were curses.

    Dragon's Feast
    Yesterday, I met a dragon in my garden
    With a wicked grin words were spoken

    Will I devour your heart or your dreams?
    Will I drain your blood or your will?
    Will I feast on your flesh or your desires?

    So hastily my chosen were spoken
    That is to live with my body unbroken

    A life without grandeur I will see
    A life with only submissions I will speak.
    A life of banality I will seek.

    Little did I know of severity
    the value of my humanity
    I choose to live with my health, my body
    but my soul be dead and empty

    Waxing poetics
    Often I feel pedantic
    like some weathered age old relic
    I seem to have some fixation
    to words and their distinctions

    Whenever I am called pretty
    I find it leagues away from beauty
    to speak only of my appearance
    I must steady my fragile temperance

    La danse macabre
    The moon shines like a silver plate
    and again I waltz in death's embrace
    On nights, on days, these endless dates
    I dance to life's order and pace

    Do I move with beauty and grace
    leaving a memory of I in every place
    Or will I be forgotten leaving not a trace
    not one memory in the human race

    Please tell me I'm in time with this tempo
    the divine song in life's sacred temple
    Am I dancing well to her sonata?
    Each step I wonder, my danse macabre...

    Hard to describe
    Tell me of love, he asked
    Tell me what makes love so divine
    Tell me in rhythm or in rhyme
    like a poet's dream sublime

    Do words, do style,
    do tempered fragile lines
    What letters, what pros should I rely
    to give love a fitting meaning
    like an animal caught in bindings
    butchered and cleaned for packing

    No, in words I can not tell you
    its beauty I can not show you
    But one thing I can assure you
    Its absence will indeed haunt you

    Goodbye
    can you hear an echo,
    a faint eerie crackle
    as the sun retreated from vine to vine
    in the woods that they call divine

    for five fifteen miles I had ridden
    from devils and demons I had hidden,
    to the place where the dead reside
    just once more to say goodbye

    The witch's words were simple
    “Don't be blinded by your sorrows
    stay clear of dark and shadows
    so you may live to see the morrow”

    “If you find he who holds your heart
    speak quickly and then depart
    unburden yourself of the past
    else you'd linger forever in the dark”

    When I saw his ghost standing
    in a small woodland clearing
    I felt joy in my heart humming
    this long forgotten feeling

    our words had been so promptly spoken.
    but grieve, not so simply lessened
    If only time was slowed or frozen,
    our link could remain unbroken.

    As the last light was dying
    the woods was no longer for the living
    but the hole in my soul was bleeding
    How can I choose to continue living

    Do I get on my horse and ride?
    leave my love behind?
    or drown in darkness' tides
    and never said the words goodbye..

    Background:
    This was from a PM convo when I was playing mafia on nuf. It was a valentine day special event. I wrote this after I met my ally @LifeFrog who was quickly killed and then discovered that @Tony and @iampsyx are allies and each had overwhelming special powers... If I remember correctly...

    The game
    What is cold like stone,
    made of victims bone,
    is my enemy's mighty throne.

    It stands so tall, above it all,
    makes me feel small
    to the very core.

    I had a friend,
    she was struck down dead,
    even though we had just met.

    Beyond this phase
    will be another day,
    “an endless chase.” Is what they'll say

    If I survive this very night
    I will count it not
    as divine delight,

    but more endless days
    of much dismay,
    wishing an end to this painful play.
